Finally finish Twilight's card!!

More and meaning below the cut for you lovlies

The details on the second card.

So for the main card, obviously the glowing violet eyes are different than Twi's lilac eyes. It was a long time ago, but I mentioned Twi was the only one who's eyes can emote with simple shapes and change colour on emotion. They Chose Lilac as his base eye colour.

A through thread to be noticed in all the band is their theatre looks and Present

Theatre

-Bells

-very loose clothing articles

-Face plates were the moths *do not* emote or open, just the eyes move. Twi and Aura can open, but it's the slots sliding up for their flame/fog effects. They do not work like mouths

-the instruments are toys, with prerecorded music

Present

-No bells

-Clothing is more fitted with loose flare on top, but the base fits are form fitting

-Fully emotive faces and functional mouths

-very real instruments they have to practice on

Will the mix is how the 'blacklight' mode is to actually look, this is just to see it all clearly. The only through thread is the chaos of both, the past is jagged and destructive, dark, one unified chaos in a single control. The present is bright and intentional smudged and splattered like one with too much to say and too many ideas and lets it flow.

Past

-Virus glitch trap, huge, looming and everywhere, doesn't even fit on the card. With glitches coming off

-shattered glass barely visible in the back, with blood splatter. Twi himself is shattered, and someone died in a shower of glass

-Twi's ghostly outline, a shell of themself, not all there, just the vibrant purple taking his shape

Present

-the bright sun and eclipse still among the chaos, solid and bright

-patterns on patterns everywhere and smudged, running free and wild to make beautiful chaos, free to just be

-blue echo of Twi with shattered glass, it still effects him, but oddly, it makes a diamond like texture

-black middle for stability, and the moon in the dark. He is still a moon and likes his night shenanigans, and the black in contrast to the white backing of his sun and eclipse, he is different, but that's okay

-striped echo, movement, constantly moving forward. Glowing lilac shines through, a choice, maybe a reminder

Incompetent

A Neurodivergent Y/N x Moon drabble

(With a small mention of deadnaming)

Once again, you sit at the daycare security desk, the nightshift worker reminding you once again of your duties for the night. Even though you've done it a million times. Its practically routine at this point.

You need reminders sometimes. You don't need this many.

You try to hold your tongue as you nod along. You try to throw in a couple “okay"s as your coworker uselessly explains how to do your job like its your first day. But once again, as it always does, your tone gives off passive aggression. You didn't mean to. You never mean to..

Its the same with your name. Everyone keeps using your deadname, and when you correct them under your breath, it sounds passive aggressive. Like you're annoyed with it.

To some extent, you are. But you never make it known.. at least you try not to.

Finally, your coworker leaves, and you can tell they're upset at how you spoke. Great. Not the first time its happened.

No time to dwell on it, the daycare is going to open soon. You talk with Sun as you do your daily tasks, turning on the security cameras of the place, getting your scanner ready for the parents to sign their kids in, etc etc. Like you've done a hundred times by now.

The parents and kids trickle in, you scan their passes, the usual routine. Some of them try to make small talk.. and you do your best to say as little as possible while still being polite. You don't trust yourself to say more than a couple sentences at a time.

Social cues.. you never understood them. You always end up oversharing, or speaking too loud or too soft, or accidentally saying something that doesn't sound like what you were trying to say at all. It happens one way or another.. You always screw it up. And a couple of your “closer” coworkers have talked to you about it over. and over. and over and over and over- you're going to punch someone if you have to hear it again, you swear to god.

And of course. You just HAD to screw up again. You weren't able to regulate your tone right, you kept speaking too quietly and it was frustrating you. And you lashed out. Unintentionally, of course, but that doesn't fix it now does it? Another conversation to be had with those “close” coworkers later. Great.

You're sick of this place honestly. If it weren't for Sun and Moon holding your sanity together and the fact that this is the only job you can get at the moment, you'd have quit a long time ago. You don't understand things sometimes, sure. You make mistakes you shouldn't, despite how much you try. You're naive, you're childish, and you don't know why- but you're not as incompetent as your coworkers seem to think. You can still do things on your own, damn it, why can't they see that!?

…Why can't you show it to them?

————

Eventually, nap time rolls around. You accidentally lashed out at Sun earlier, and apologized profusely for it. But you feel like shit. You lean against your desk, glancing at the cameras occasionally and just…wanting to disappear.

The quiet tink of a bell catches your attention as Moon lowers himself on top of the desk from his wire, perched up like a cat.

“...Come to lecture me about lashing out at Sun?” You say, silently cursing yourself at the poison in your tone.

To your surprise, Moon doesn't react to it. “No. I'm not.” He pauses. “...Though I do want to talk.”

You sigh and nod, spinning in your swivel chair to face Moon. “Go on”

“I understand, Comet.”

You freeze. Did he…say what you thought he said? What was he-

“I see how hard you're trying.. How your tone doesn't convey what you want it to. I get it.”

…Oh. Thats what he means.

“I'm fine, Moon, I-”

“No you're not. I can tell you're not. So don't try to lie to me.”

He reaches out, resting his hand on your shoulder. He doesn't squeeze it, he just…rests it there. A comforting touch.

“...I do not understand completely, of course. But I do understand the lashing out. The anger, when you're so frustrated it slips out and you don't mean for it to.” Moon's smile is soft, patient, his head tilting just slightly. “You're doing as well as you can… Not just with your lashing out, but with everything else… I see how hard you're trying, Comet…and I am very proud of you.”

Your breath catches in your throat at those five words. I am very proud of you.

“..Y-You.. don't think I'm..?”

“Of course not. I know you're not incompetent, my star. Your brain is a different constellation to many others…and you're trying your best to make it work. And I'd say you're doing a wonderful job at that~”

“But.. I-I don't even know how to help myself… I don't know what to do to fix-”

“You don't NEED to be fixed. You not knowing what to do all the time is only more proof of how wonderfully you're doing with trying to handle it. I see it. Sun sees it. You may not see it, but you're quite put together when you really try. And we can tell you're trying.”

You…don't know what to say. Moon must realize that, because he pulls you into a hug. It takes you a moment, but you hug him back.

“We're very proud of you, Comet… You should be proud of yourself too..”

Another dream comic. Had a dream where I was tied to a chair in a dark room and some hooded figures killed me after I begged for my life—but then I got caught in a time loop and so I kept trying to figure out what I could say to get them to not shoot me but they killed me no matter what I said. Started just shouting random stuff eventually.

I want to be the first person on the moon to shoot a sniper rifle at earth and hit a wasp nest.  my whole life so far is leading up to that moment

[sleepytyrtle]

every day i think about how wild vaporeon would live mostly in the water but come to shore to have their pups (eevee), and then would probably groom their pups in a special way to trap air bubbles in their soft fur to make them more bouyant so they can float unaided on the water. and then as soon as the eevee have control of their little legs they're being taught how to swim, so you could come to a lake at a certain time of year ans see a vaporeon swimming around with a tiny soaked eevee paddling along behind it like

Hurt/Comfort

I think Purple n King should definitely talk to each other bout, their own whole thing(Gold and Cobalt[aka Purple's dad]), and be for each other

I'm still processing ep30 and these two, so yeah. Have this drawing of them talking bout their emotions! and them sleeping after it

(heavily related to drawing, I feel like, King would be to have more of a breakdown when talking bout his emotions than purple. Purple already let it out with Green at ep29 and properly felt his own emotions and not much of a weight on him, but King on the other hand didn't really have a moment to properly feel it, he tunnel-visions his anger, and aimed to end Minecraft without caring about anything else[and perhaps he included] so, to finally talk about it must've been such a rollercoaster of emotions)

Squishy

[sleepytyrtle]

i'm keeping you in the time loop. it's the only way i know how to keep you safe. trapping you here, in the last day that you're alive, ignorant of what's to come as the sun sets. i dread each minute, a countdown to the end, but live in relief as all the blood washes away, all the would-be scars fade, and the tears dry before they have a chance to fall. but the memory of you dying in my arms remains, and so i'm keeping you in the time loop

[sleepytyrtle]
